Trex: A Champion for Sustainability

Trex goes beyond simply making decks. They’re revolutionizing the way we think about outdoor living with a deep commitment to sustainability that’s woven into everything they do:

Recycled Content Leader: Trex decking is a champion of recycled materials. Each board is comprised of 95% recycled and reclaimed content, diverting billions of pounds of waste from landfills annually. This includes upcycled plastic film and wood scraps that would otherwise pollute our environment.

Manufacturing Efficiency: Trex prioritizes responsible manufacturing practices. Their closed-loop water recirculation system recycles nearly 99% of the water used in production, minimizing their water footprint. Additionally, they use biodegradable hydraulic fluids in their machinery, ensuring responsible disposal without harming the environment.

Long-Lasting Durability: Trex decking is built to last, reducing the need for replacements and the associated environmental impact. Unlike traditional wood decks, Trex won’t rot, warp, crack, or splinter. Plus, it requires minimal maintenance – no staining, sanding, or sealing needed – which eliminates the use of harsh chemicals and reduces your overall environmental impact.

Award-Winning Sustainability: Trex was recently honored by Good Housekeeping’s 2024 Sustainable Innovation Awards for their Trex Transcend Lineage decking, made from 95% recycled and reclaimed materials. Trex has been named America’s Most Trusted Outdoor Decking (2021-2024), and one of America’s Most Responsible Companies 2024 by Newsweek.

1. Color scheme: Opt for soft and neutral colors like whites, creams, sandy browns, and light blues to create a serene coastal ambiance.

2. Furniture: Choose outdoor furniture made of natural materials like teak or rattan. Wicker and woven textures give a relaxed beachy vibe. Cushions and pillows with patterns or textures resembling waves, corals, or shells can add an extra touch.

3. Decking material: Consider using timber decking to create a warm, natural look. You can also go for composite or PVC decking, designed to resemble wood, but with a low maintenance advantage.

4. Lighting: Incorporate soft and subtle lighting elements, such as string lights or lanterns, to create an inviting and relaxed atmosphere during the evening. Avoid bright and harsh lighting, as it may take away from the coastal feel.

5. Accessories: Accessorize with coastal-inspired decor like seashells, driftwood, nautical ropes, or potted plants with green foliage. Hang up artwork or photographs depicting beach scenes or marine life to further enhance the coastal theme.

6. Landscaping: Surround the deck with salt-tolerant plants and shrubs that thrive in coastal environments, such as fountain grasses, succulents, crinum lilies, birds of paradise, and palms. These plants not only complement the coastal aesthetic but also help create a private and intimate space.

7. Outdoor rugs: Add a touch of comfort and style by incorporating outdoor rugs with coastal prints, stripes, or texture that resemble the beach or ocean waves. Remember, a coastal chic deck should provide a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere, evoking the feeling of being by the sea.

3. Coastal Chic Deck: Embrace the coastal vibes of Florida with a coastal chic deck. Opt for light-colored wood or composite decking, nautical accents like rope lights or sail shades, and finishes in shades of blue, white, and sandy beige to create a breezy atmosphere.

4. Outdoor Kitchen Deck: Florida is a great place for outdoor cooking and entertaining. Having an outdoor kitchen deck allows you to enjoy grilling and dining al fresco. Include a built-in grill, countertop space for food prep, and a dining area with comfortable seating.

5. Zen Garden Deck: If you’re looking for a peaceful and serene outdoor space, a Zen garden deck is ideal. Choose natural tone building materials such as teak wood, and sustainable composite bamboo, add a water feature like a small pond or fountain, and incorporate rocks and plants that promote relaxation and tranquility, such as lavender or jasmine. Remember to consider the specific needs and preferences of your family when choosing the best deck type for your Florida backyard.
